The 2010 NBA All-Star Weekend in Dallas just wrapped up this morning. Finally.
It has been one of the most boring All-Star Festivities ever. The slam dunk competition was quite lame. Nate Robinson is such a high flier and has mad skills and creativity to back it up to prove his win for the title, but he hasn't shown any of those in his "winning" dunk. Winning the 3-point shootout competition is Celtic Paul Pierce. Steve Nash grabbed the title for the skills challenge beating his younger opponents in just 29 seconds.
Although the slam dunk competition was a "fail", the All-Star Game was another story. Even without Kobe Bryant and Chris Paul in the Western Conference lineup, the West team still gave a huge performance that led to a close fight with the Eastern Conference lineup. Still, D-Wade and LeBron James pulled fantastic plays. The game ended with the East winning against the West with just 2 points. Dwyane Wade was named MVP of the game.
In another NBA news, Kobe Bryant has just been named as Player of the Decade. He bested other players, including LeBron James, Tim Duncan and Shaquille O'Neal. That's another title to boost his ego.
This All-Star has been so-so. From LBJ's flop Slam Dunk appearance, to Kobe not playing for the ASG. But the game still garnered the most number of live viewers with the total count of 108,713. Let's see how this will affect next year's festivity. See you in LA! (more ego boost for Kobe)
